US President Donald Trump says will speak with Putin to discuss ending Ukraine war
US President Donald Trump said he would talk to Russia's Vladimir Putin early Tuesday about ending the Ukraine war, with territorial concessions by Kyiv and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant likely to feature prominently in the talks, per Reuters.
According to Semafor, the Trump administration is considering recognizing Ukraine’s Crimea region as Russian territory as part of any future agreement to end the way.
“Tomorrow morning I will be speaking to President Putin concerning the War in Ukraine. Many elements of a Final Agreement have been agreed to, but much remains. Thousands of young soldiers, and others, are being killed. Each week brings 2,500 soldier deaths, from both sides, and it must end NOW. I look very much forward to the call with President Putin,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
